"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

[Kanassa]

On topic of Xenoverse 3, I'd be happy to know it was already in development, but at the same time, I'm fine with it taking a bit longer too to make the next one even bigger and better than what we already have. It should be mind-blowing if all goes well.

No matter what time the development starts, it has been confirmed that Xenoverse 3 will receive a longer development time compared to the previous two entries.

I mean, hell, Kingdom Hearts 3 has been in development for the last 5 years & it looks fantastic & fun as a game, plus it's been 13 years since the second main entry, with the side games having interesting gameplay, so if DBXV3 needs more time to be an even better sequel, as well as not to repeat mistakes made in the previous games, I say go for it, especially if they're doing expansion DLC to satiate the audience that's still playing the second game. Time can only help if there's still room for improvements.

According to the Japanese website, they'll be in the TP shop in the future. I'm assuming it's what that greyed out "Gift" option is for.

Oh! That makes sense. Okay asked and answered. Thank you.


Now for those knowledgeable in XV2, I have a Namekian character with a level 5 QQ bang that gives a boost in Ki blast attacks. (Ex: Kamehameha and etc) He's also decked out with Potential Unleashed and has 100 points thrown into his Ki Blast section of his stats and he's at level 99. So with that said, why are the latest PQs a bit of a challenge for me? Shouldn't my Supernova (Cooler version) be roasting my CPU controlled foes?
Yes the blast does wonderful damage but I've seen Saiyan cac dominate with 100% Big Bang Kamehameha. Is it just a matter of using said Ultimate (and/or a better ultimate) or perhaps the latest PQ are just indeed hard/tedious? Keep in mind that I've had many, many past experiences with user controlled Saiyans who utterly wreck CPUs with their Ultimates so while this isn't new for me I would still like to know the "secret" behind their Ultimate Attack power. Maybe it's just "Saiyans, am I right?"

Oh yeah, they got bumped up in difficulty for sure. SSJBlue helps mitigate it, but they are still harder.

You mean SSB form for cac? I have that form but my main character is a Namekian so it sort of becomes a moot point. (I mean my Saiyan character is maxed out but is no where near the accomplishments of my Namekian character. ) I guess Saiyans really are the best in this game huh?

I wasn't trying to be that vague about it. I guess the majority of DB games typically fall under the fighter category, but there's still variety to from the games we've gotten over the last decade from Spike, Dimps, ArcSys, etc and their 2D fighters, 3D fighters, "DB simulators". Though I suppose those are more of sub-genres.

Maybe I'm probably better off just saying what I was told was coming next isn't a "fighting game".
But if they've already switched gears on XV3's development compared to the info I had, don't hold me to this necessarily being true anymore either.

With FighterZ being a success it's not like they need to rush XV3 out, so if the plan was to have something between FighterZ and XV3 I'm sure that is still the case.
Maybe a January 2019 release for this "new" game and then holiday 2019/January 2020 for XV3 or something.

In less official news, Modders can add new stage slots now:

I don't know what you heard and when you heard it, but XV3 has been in development for a little awhile now. XV2's DLC was done by a small part of the team, not the whole thing.
Bigger budget, more ambitious and redone assets are what I know, I have literally no idea when it's supposed to come out though.

Admittedly been a while since I obtained my info. It's entirely possible that after the growing popularity of the DLC combined with the complaints of quality and competition of FighterZ (both in production value and sales), that they've started work early to give extra development time to polish things up. I would guess the release plan is still the same though, as development should have already begun on the "new title" a while back. Guess we'll see. We're not too far off from the typical game announcement months.

If it's been awhile then they might have started development after you were told it hadn't started yet. I don't know exactly when it started, but I was told that it was in development in October-ish (might have been November or September, can't exactly remember).
Xenoverse 3 being in development right now wouldn't really stop a new game coming out before it, I would imagine it'd probably be a completely different studio making what ever that new game is.

What’s your source? Can you say it or naa?

Anyway, from what I was told, the next shouldn't be from Dimps or ArcSys, and isn't their typical genres either. So yeah, nothing is stopping said game from being developed and released next alongside everything else going on. Just so long as they didn't decide to cancel it for XV3 or whatever.

I'm especially curious as to this part. If it was just not typically genre, it'd rule out fighting games, but if it's not typical genres, plural, then...that rules out RPG's too, wouldn't it? We don't have a ton of RPG's (especially not traditional ones), but pseudo-RPG's probably make up the next most common type of game, so if it's not that type either, then what the heck type of game would it be I wonder?

Funny that you mention this.

First off, I'm pretty sure he meant that the next game won’t be like any db game they’ve ever made. And it just so happens that about 3 days ago, some guy who claimed to be from bandai before he got fired, leaked some info from what is coming out including something about the next Dragon ball game being an ARPG. That would fit into the info we have right now. I’d be pretty annoyed though as i don’t like top down games and ARPGs are basically all top down games.

Ehh. Console Dragon Ball games are always released the next year from the previous one. Definetly not holiday 2019. I’ve noticed a pattern that games are coming out in February a lot so maybe Feb 2020 or March 2020 the latest for XV3.

So, finished up the story a couple times and wanted to give my thoughts. Spoilers, obviously


[spoiler]- I absolutely love Fuu. He is such a fun character and I love how he isn’t a straight villain or hero. He’s just a wild card
- Seeing Demigra pop back up was wild for me
- Having Goku and Vegeta transform into SSJ4 in Whis’s staff was so cool. I did a run through with Goku and he turns Blue and fights his other self. So we kinda got what Heroes has been teasing. Can’t wait to do it with Whis to see what he says
- The Cell Game fight was fun. On my run with Vegeta, seeing them go all the way to Blue was definitely odd. But it was expected
- Bringing Videl into the Vegito vs Buuhan fight was an...odd choice. But it was interesting enough
- Let’s talk about the big one: Jiren in the Goku Black saga. That fight was so much fun. I do find it odd how Jiren is susceptible to brainwashing, as I figure he’d be powerful enough to break it. And it seemed at points he was trying to fight it. Still, loved that Tapion was the catalyst to seal Zamasu. I’m really looking forward to other runthroughs
- Having Dabura as the villain was so satisfying. I’ve been waiting to see that since it was spoiled Towa was his sister. I hope he makes a comeback in XV3
- On one run I did, I chose Fuu for my partner on the last time rift. This caused Dabura to summon Demigra during the fight against him. Again, why is Demigra not playable!? So frustrating.
- Finally, the fight against UI Goku was awesome. I really enjoyed that we finally got that one on one bout against Goku that’s been meaning to happen since the end of the first Xenoverse[/spoiler]

This DLC has been wicked fun. If this isn’t the last pack, then I’m extremely interested to see where they go from here, especially with the partner system as it sits. I could definitely see more Super characters, and we need but a few more characters from Z and we really need Super Baby and Uub from GT. But overall, this has been fun

For thing about the final mission:
[spoiler]Usually, Demigra's the one summoned to help Dabura, but if you bring along Goku, Krillin or Raditz; Vegeta is summoned with some nice dialogue (He wants to taunt and humiliate 'Baby Raditz').[/spoiler]

[Lord Frieza]

[spoiler]Usually, Demigra's the one summoned to help Dabura, but if you bring along Goku, Krillin or Raditz; Vegeta is summoned with some nice dialogue (He wants to taunt and humiliate 'Baby Raditz').[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I brought Beerus and got Champa! He says he's not being controlled but is just playing along to spite Beerus again lol![/spoiler]

[Jackalope89]

Baby Vegeta and Uub I would really like to see, and that ought to finish off the main GT characters (barring maybe Goten at that age? though you really don't see people request him).

Outside of that, I would like to see Toppo, Ribrianne, Kale, and Caulifla (maybe Kafla?) pop up too. Which would, of course, popping into the Tournament of Power Arc. Maybe, like the fight with masked Bardock, you chase your foe, and end up in the World of Void randomly?

[spoiler]I got Android 18 when I brought Krillin to that fight, though it was an Android 18 from a different timeline, because she kept acting like she'd have no problem killing THIS Krillin, so long as her own and her Marron were safe. It was...a bit trippy.[/spoiler]

I've done that too

[spoiler]Vegeta fights Future Trunks and remarks that if his son were really this stupid, but Trunks treats it as a test if they can really beat Dabura[/spoiler]

[Grimlock]

Since I haven't seen anyone commenting about it, I'll do it. He also appears inside Whis' staff.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

I was hoping I would get to see more of them together/fighting together but this scene/these images make up for the lack of it.

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

[Hellspawn28]

Jiren's dub voice is okay. I think it would have been cool to see someone like David Hayter try to voice Jiren or someone new in Super.

[GTx10]

Speaking of Kale and Ribrianne, these two girls have Super Souls within the game. Now wouldn't it be something if they magically appeared in another DLC. Toppo's mustache as well as the Pride Trooper outfit is in the game perhaps he'll appear too. Granted this all speculation but what are odds.
What are the odds?

Personally my four picks for a possible DLC 7 would be:

1. Master Roshi: That way we have all of the ToP participates as well as Dragon Ball era character.

2. Kafla: Because she her ultimate would be awesome to render in XV2's engine. (Plus it gives us the two girls at discount price!)

3. Demiga: His model and attacks are in the flipping game.

4. Final form Mira: Same as Demigra.

[DarkPrince_92]

Maybe I'm lazy, but I am not a fan of how tedious it is to get the final ending from the new Pack. I don't know how long it actually takes, but after playing it once or twice, really not into doing it again.

Love Fu tho. Fun character definitely.

Also, the voices during the dialogue heavy scenes are really low for whatever reason. Even when adjusting the sound settings. And some of those subtitles, do not fit the screen.

Not sure what the issue is. Thinking this pack was rushed despite all the planning and marketing it was getting.

I did it once with a partner and once with Fu. How do I get the UI Goku fight at the end?
